摘要:
The hollow plastic microspheres 17 are made by forming a liquid film of thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic composition across a coaxial blowing nozzle 5, applying a blowing gas 10 at a positive pressure to the inner surface of the plastic film to blow the film and form an elongated cylinder shaped liquid film 12 of plastic. A transverse jet 13 is used to direct an entraining fluid 14 over and around the blowing nozzle 5, at an angle to the axis of the blowing nozzle. The entraining fluid 14 as it passes over and around the blowing nozzle 5 fluid dynamically induces a pulsating or fluctuating pressure field at the opposite or lee side of the blowing nozzle in the wake or shadow of the coaxial blowing nozzle. The continued movement of the entraining fluid 14 over the elongated cylinder 12 produces asymmetric fluid drag forces on the cylinder and closes and detaches the elongated cylinder from the coaxial blowing nozzle and the detached cylinder by the action of surface tension forms into a spherical shape 17.The hollow plastic microspheres can be made from low heat conductivity plastic compositions and blown with a low heat conductivity gas and used to make improved insulation materials and composites and insulating systems. The hollow plastic microspheres 17 can be made to contain a thin transparent or reflective metal coating 20 deposited on the inner wall surface of the microspheres.

摘要:
The hollow glass vacuum microspheres are made by forming a liquid film of molten glass across the coaxial blowing nozzles, applying the metal vapor blowing gas at a positive pressure on the inner surface of the glass film to blow the film which combines with the centrifugal force to form an elongated cylinder shaped liquid film of molten glass. A transverse jet is used to direct the inert entraining fluid over and around the blowing nozzle at an angle to the axis of the blowing nozzle. The entraining fluid as it passes over and around the blowing nozzle fluid dynmically induces a pulsating or fluctuating pressure field at the opposite or lee side of the blowing nozzle in the wake or shadow of the coaxial blowing nozzle. The continued movement of the entraining fluid over the elongated cylinder produces asymmetric fluid drag forces on the cylinder and closes and detaches the elongated cylinder from the coaxial blowing nozzle and the detached cylinder by the action of surface tension forms into a spherical shape.Quench nozzles are disposed radially away from the rotor and direct cooling fluid downwardly at and into contact with the hollow glass amicrospheres to rapidly cool and solidify the molten glass to form a hard, smooth hollow glass microsphere and where metal vapor blowing gas is used to cool and condense the metal vapor and to deposit the metal vapor on the inner wall surface of the microsphere as a thin metal coating.
摘要:
Relatively long plastic microfilaments are used to make reinforcing, filler materials and fabrics. A blowing gas is applied at a positive pressure to the inert surface of a liquid plastic film formed across a coaxial blowing nozzle to blow the film and form an elongated hollow tube having a thinned wall or weakened portion. An entraining fluid is directed at an angle over and around the blowing nozzle and as it passes over and around the blowing nozzle, it dynamically induces a pulsating or fluctuating pressure field at the opposite side of the blowing nozzle in the wake thereof and produces a laminar flow of entraining fluid in the vicinity of the forming elongated tube. The continued movement of the entraining fluid over the elongated tube produces asymmetric fluid drag forces on the tube, and at the thinned wall or weakened wall portion longitudinally breaks the tube to form a multiplicity of plastic microfilaments, and detaches the plastic microfilaments from the elongated tube and from the coaxial blowing nozzle and the detached microfilaments are carried away from the blowing nozzle. Quench nozzles or heating nozzles may be disposed below and on either side of the blowing nozzle to direct cooling or heating fluid at and into contact with the plastic microfilaments to cool or heat and cure, solidify and harden the plastic to form hard, smooth plastic microfilaments.

Hollow metal microspheres are made by forming a liquid film of molten film forming metal composition across a coaxial blowing nozzle and applying a blowing gas at a positive pressure on the inner surface of the metal film to blow the film and form an elongated cylinder shaped liquid film of molten metal. An inert entraining fluid is directed over and around the blowing nozzle at an angle to the axis of the blowing nozzle so that the entraining fluid dynamically induces a pulsating or fluctuating pressure field at the opposite side of the blowing nozzle in the wake of the coaxial blowing nozzle. The continued movement of the entraining fluid produces asymmetric fluid drag forces on the cylinder and closes and detaches the elongated cylinder from the coaxial blowing nozzle. Surface tension forces acting on the detached cylinder form the latter into a spherical shape which is rapidly cooled and solidified by cooling means to form a hard, smooth hollow metal microsphere. A thin metal coating can be deposited on the inner wall surface of the microspheres by using a metal vapor as the blowing gas or by adding to the blowing gas small dispersed metal particles and/or gases of organometallic compounds which are decomposed. The metal microspheres can be used to make insulation materials systems and as filler materials in plastics, plastic foam compositions, rubber and rubber compositions and in metal compositions. Filamented hollow metal microspheres with a thin metal filament connecting adjacent metal microspheres are also disclosed.

摘要:
A three dimensional wipe pad with a superior capacity to remove contaminant solids particles from solid surfaces consists of a compressible bed of loose and discontinuous ultra-fine filaments which filaments include a significant number of sub-micron diameter microfilaments, enclosed and sealed in a pouch made from a deformable material which is permeable to the contaminant solids being removed. Rubbing a contaminated surface with the pad causes the contaminant solids to pass into the interior of the wipe where they are trapped in the interstices between the ultra-fine filaments. Liquids may be added to the pad to assist the passage of the contaminant solids particles into the interior of the pad.
摘要:
Method for making hollow microspheres of substantially uniform diameter and of substantially uniform wall thickness is disclosed. The walls of the hollow microspheres comprise sintered together particles which define interconnecting voids within the walls and a single central cavity in the interior of the microspheres and inner and outer microsphere wall surfaces. The interconnecting voids are continuous and extend from the outer wall surface to the inner wall surface. The walls have substantially uniform void content and the interconnecting voids are substantially uniformly distributed in the walls of the hollow microspheres and the walls of the hollow microspheres are free of latent solid or liquid blowing gas materials and are substantially free of relatively thinned wall portions and bubbles. The method includes heating the microspheres for a sufficient period of time to close and seal the interconnecting void.
摘要:
Hollow microspheres are made by a process which comprises forming a film of a dispersed particle film-forming composition (containing dispersed particles, a binder, a film stabilizing agent and a continuous liquid phase) across a coaxial blowing nozzle, applying a blowing gas at a positive pressure on the inner surface of the dispersed particle composition film to blow the film and form, in the region of the coaxial blowing nozzle orifice, hollow dispersed particle microspheres having stable film walls, removing the hollow microspheres, treating them to bring dispersed particles into point to point contact and harden them to obtain hollow green microspheres, and subsequently subjecting them to a sufficiently high temperature for a sufficient period of time to remove the continuous liquid phase and to sinter the dispersed particles at their points of contact to form within the walls of said hollow microspheres interconnecting voids that are continuous from the outer wall surface to the inner wall surface of the hollow microspheres, and to obtain hollow porous microspheres having substantially uniform void content and substantially uniform distribution of the voids in their walls.

Hollow metal microspheres are made from film forming metal compositions and are used to make superior high strength light weight structures, improved insulating materials and insulating systems, or the microspheres can be used as filler materials in plastics, in plastic foam compositions, in rubber and rubber compositions and in metal compositions. A thin metal coating can be deposited on the inner wall surface of the microspheres. The hollow metal microspheres can also be made in the form of filamented metal microspheres in which a thin metal filament connects adjacent microspheres. The microspheres are characterized by being free of latent solid or liquid blowing gas materials or gases and the walls of the microspheres are substantially free of holes, relatively thin walled portions or sections and bubbles. Masses of the hollow microspheres and shaped forms of or containing the hollow microspheres are also described.
